How does something like this work - does Betabeat ask Joel for permission to repost his content under their name/banner/ads? Do they work out a cut of ad revenue? Or do they just copy-and-paste the content without permission, figuring most writers won't complain?
- thedufer 15y agoThey linked to the original at the top of the article. Doesn't look like an attempt to steal his work.
- andrewflnr 15y agoThank you. Joel's site doesn't crash my iPad.
- spolsky 15y agoBetaBeat asked for permission to repost this, which I granted. They did not pay me for it.
- warwick 15y agoAs a writer, were there any benefits to you to grant that permission? Or was it more along the lines of there being no downside and it's nice to be asked?
